FEEDBACK
Chad White
Awesome show everyone. Thanks for compiling all these upcoming movies. There is a lot to look forward to. I love twist movies, so I'm hoping M.Night Shyamalan can bring the magic. BTW…No worries Crystal; both Possession and Possessor were awesome. Thanks for the recommendation. I really appreciate all the hard work you all do for the show.
